North view of Tower Academy and White Tower Restaurant.
The white tower standing on the mountainside is about ten stories high, and the middle three floors are where students eat.
If you get closer and stand under the tower, you can probably only see gray and rough stones, a small amount of moss in the gaps, water marks left by wind and sun, etc. But once you go far away, stand at the foot of the mountain or fly in the air to see If you look at it, you will feel that the elegant shape of the White Pagoda is in perfect harmony with the rocks and pine trees behind it, giving it a special sense of beauty.
Today is the end of the week, and some students also choose to have dinner here, but fortunately it is not crowded and the number of people is relatively sparse. Most of the students in the Tower Academy are obsessed with studying various strange knowledge or exercising themselves, unlike those in the city. The students of Zhai Academy are so keen on socializing. In the words of some people, the students of Tower Academy are all loners. Although this is a bit absolute, this trend is indeed quite prevalent.
Students in the magic sequence are okay. When they encounter some problems, they may want to find someone to ask for advice and cooperation. However, students in the dragon sequence basically play their own way. They are very casual and don't care much about socializing. Rather than trusting connections, relationships, they trust their own strength more.
In general, one pursues spiritual independence and thinking, while the other pursues physical independence and strength.
Warm sunlight shines in from the windows. There are basically no walls in the dining areas on these floors. Except for the supporting stone pillars, there are open windows for ventilation. The two girls were sitting at the dining table covered with white cloth, waiting for their friends.
"Eidolon, are you getting used to the new dormitory? Now you don't have Bu Mansha and Lorraine to take care of you." Alena's short brown hair looked a bit golden in the sun.
"Ugh...I know." Ye Ling, who was under fifteen years old, kicked her calves and replied in a low voice with a bit of dissatisfaction. After moving to the new dormitory, no one asked her to wake up recently because she was not familiar with the staff.
"Haha, why don't you apply to the teacher and let's move in together?" Alena said jokingly.
"No need, I can live a good life on my own, hum." Ye Ling is still a little proud of herself and doesn't want to beg Alena.
"Tsk, tsk, if Luo Lan said this to you, he would have hugged you long ago."
"You're not Sister Luo Lan..." Ye Ling puffed up her cheeks and shook her ponytails on both sides, causing her off-white hair to sway accordingly.
The two talked for a while, and gradually, Ye Ling felt much better.
"If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me. It's not far away anyway. You can just jump out of the dormitory window and fly a few hundred meters away."
"I won't look for idiot Alena." Although Ye Ling denied it, he still felt a warmth in his heart.
After a while, Alena looked at her watch and whispered: "By the way, why hasn't Letis come yet? It's almost noon, so we have to wait for so long."
"Maybe something happened, Letis doesn't seem like the kind of person who is not punctual." Eidolon guessed.

Central School Building, Sage Court.
It was already noon, and the contestants present had basically completed the refining of the potion. After all, it was a bronze-level potion. To the outside world, it might take an official alchemist to make it, but as long as Emenas's students had more If you put in a little effort, you can basically do it well, the only problem is the quality difference.
A staff member reported the scores, and a student below waved his hands excitedly after hearing this. Although [Hemostasis and Healing Potion] is not difficult, an average score of 80 or above is almost the standard of excellence, and this preliminary round has been selected.
Most people have failed, but those who can pass are those who have a relatively solid foundation and have really studied hard.
"Participant No. 210, scored 92, 90, 93, with an average score of 91.6, and passed." After the staff read out, there was a burst of cheers from below.
"As expected of Miss Osuna."
"I have only been in school for more than a year, and it is already very rare to get more than 90 points."
Although some students are a little disappointed that Osuna did not score particularly high scores, they are still above the psychological acceptance line. After all, only 8 people have scored above 90 points so far, and most of them have just reached the 90-point mark.
"Senior Jean is indeed a genius. His teacher evaluation average is 95, and he is currently ranked first."
"Miss Osuna is not bad either. She seems to be the only second-year student with a score above 90."
As the teacher graded the potions one by one, it was finally the turn of Lorraine Hill's group.
One of the teachers picked up the crimson potion, looked at it, and checked it again using extraordinary perception methods, with a slightly hesitant look on his face.
"What's wrong, Berg?" Another teacher asked casually on the rostrum, still writing scores and comments to a contestant.
"I'm wondering how many points I should give this potion. Forgive me, I've never seen such a pure potion."
"Oh, let's take a look." The two people next to him also became interested. They turned their eyes and looked at the potion in turn. The last teacher opened the cork of the bottle, poured a little into the palm of his hand, and felt it carefully.
"This has just the right medicinal properties, is not too strong, and perfectly displays the effect of the ingredients. I think it can be given full marks."
"Full score? How long has it been since? It's better to be a little more cautious, 99 points." Another teacher said after careful consideration. After all, there are only a handful of perfect scores in the history of the competition. Although they have been immersed in it for many years, they dare not take it casually.
Write down this score.
"It's a pity that today is the preliminary round, and those masters are not here. They are all very busy."
"How about we make a compromise, one writes 100, one writes 99, and the other is random?"
"That's it." The other two nodded.
The audience in the audience were curious as they watched the teachers above whispering to each other for a while before writing down the scores. At this time, the staff finally announced the results.
"Participant No. 54, 100 points, 99 points, 100 points, average score of 99.6, passed."
"Wow....."
The audience was in an uproar, looking around for the contestant with high scores. Unfortunately, there were very few students who paid attention to Lorraine Hill before, and no one knew that she was No. 54.
"Loland, we haven't seen each other for a few weeks." The three girls were sitting in a corner by the courtyard. There were stone tables and chairs here.
"Long time no see, Bu Mansha, Lily." Lorraine Hill also took off the hood of his coat at this time.
"I didn't expect that Luo Lan would also come to participate in the competition. If Bu Mansha hadn't reminded me, I really wouldn't have recognized him." Lily said with her hands on the table.
"I'm a little interested. It's not like I don't like the fireworks of the world, so why can't I come to participate in the competition." Lorraine Hill said with a slight smile.
"How should I put it? This is how Luo Lan made me feel in the past. Although he was very powerful, he didn't fight for anything and had an unknown kind of tranquility."
Lily thought about the past. In the past, Lorraine Hill mostly wore white or solid-colored dresses, which gave people the same feeling. But now she wears the red and black uniforms issued by the academy, and suddenly she has a sense of charm and aggression, giving people a feeling.
It’s different. Is this how the college affects the students’ character? But why am I still so useless...
Lily shook her head, stopped thinking about these messy things, and spoke again.
"No matter what the results are, let's have a dinner together tonight. We haven't been together for a long time, and our relationship has become indifferent~" Lily said slightly exaggeratedly.
